Season 3, week 1 quest guide

Collect Reality Seeds (3)

Much like the Zero Week quest for planting Reality Saplings, this one requires you to gather Reality Seeds. You’ll find these at Reality Falls within pink bulbs. There’s one on the large tree root found above the body of water in this area. Once you destroy the pink bulb, the Reality Seeds will burst out and disperse around you. Pick up three to complete this challenge.

Damage Opponents with a DMR (200)

The DMR is a new weapon added to Fortnite in season 3. This semi-auto sniper rifle deals high amounts of damage but takes a bit of getting used to, especially if you want to master it. For this quest, you need to deal 200 damage with a DMR, so make sure you loot as much as possible until you find one, and then prioritize shooting your opponents with the weapon. Thankfully, this challenge is cumulative, so you don’t need to deal all 200 damage in one match.

Dance at Different Crashed IO Airships (3)

There are five total crashed IO Airships around the map, and to complete this challenge, you need to visit three of them and use an emote while there. Use the map above for reference (thanks, Fortnite.gg). This one is cumulative as well, meaning you don’t have to visit all three crashed IO airships in the same match.

Gain Shields by Bouncing on Slurp Bouncer Mushrooms (10)

Within the Greasy Grove area are Slurp Bouncer Mushrooms, which can be jumped on to gain shields. They’re found at other locations on the western side of the island, but Greasy Grove has a lot of them. For this challenge, you need to bounce on 10 Slurp Bouncer Mushrooms, which can be done in separate matches.

Mod a Whiplash with Off-Road Tires and a Cow Catcher, then Destroy Structures (50)

This challenge is a bit of a pain since you need to collect three specific items before you can even start destroying structures. First, you need to get your hands on a Whiplash, which is Fortnite’s version of a sports car. You can find them at the locations on the map below.

After you get your hands on the vehicle, you’ll need to find a Cow Catcher, which are usually located in red toolboxes around the map. There’s sometimes one that spawns on the southeastern tip of Coney Crossroads, just south of where you can find a Whiplash vehicle. Open the toolbox, equip the Cow Catcher, and then throw it onto the vehicle to attach it. If you can’t find one there, look in any nearby garages or gas stations for red toolboxes.

From there, head to the gas station just south of Coney Crossroads where you’ll find a garage with a guaranteed Off-Road Tire spawn.

Throw it onto the vehicle, and then drive into 50 different structures to complete this challenge. It’s cumulative, but given how annoying this one is to complete, it’s best to try to get it finished in one match.

Search Chests at Condo Canyon or Tilted Towers (5)

This is an easy one. Simply land at either Condo Canyon or Titled Towers and loot as much as you can. It helps if you have Visualize Sound Effects turned on. Once you’ve opened five chests across either area, you’ll complete this quest.

Visit the Zero Point in a Motorboat (1)

For the final quest, you’ll need to drive a motorboat to the Zero Point location. Start on the north side of Tilted Towers where you’ll find a motorboat and then drive it to the Zero Point (indicated by the circle above) to complete this quest.

Fortnite is making some big changes to how battle passes work in a couple of weeks. Epic Games already announced that it would be streamlining battle pass progression, but it's implementing a similar change to its subscription service Fortnite Crew.

In a Wednesday blog post, Epic Games revealed that all battle passes will be available in Fortnite Crew. So not only will all your progression apply to the Music Pass and Lego Pass as well as the Battle Royale Pass but all of those will be included for the same $12 per month fee starting on December 1.

The best places to land in Fortnite (Chapter 6, Season 2)

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're a looper who's been around for each and every season, your likelihood of grabbing that coveted Victory Royale can be gone in a snap if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be on a mountain with no loot or a hot drop that could send you back to the lobby in no time.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2, a new Crime-themed island has arrived with new points of interest (POIs) that change the game significantly. However, with these spots, which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for the OG sweats, beginners, and everyone in between.
The best places to land in Fortnite
Before jumping into the list, you must understand the basics of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any location with decent loot and lots of chests might serve you well, but there's more to that. Is that spot often contested by other players in the lobby? Can you farm mats easily? Is it close to other POIs? Is it too far from the Storm Circle? These recommended landing spots all have their fair share of consistency and the best loot that you'll need. They also have some quirks that make them the best depending on your playstyle.

Fortnite OG, a limited-time mode that brought back the original island from all the way back in Season 1, is coming back to the game -- for good this time.

Epic Games announced in a post on X that Fortnite OG is "combing BACK and is here to stay" starting December 6. That means players can experience the original map and loot starting with Chapter 1, Season 1 from all the way back in 2017, when Fortnite was less of the pop culture metaverse juggernaut it is today.
